CPAP to deal with sleep apnea

There are no tablets for it at the moment. We decide how to treat it after doing a sleep study that assesses different parameters. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is a common therapy for sleep apnea. In this, patients wear a face or nasal mask when sleeping. The mask, connected to a pump, provides a positive flow of air into the nasal passages to keep the airway open. There are also surgical options for those requiring correction of obstructions due to anatomical features.
